Re: FE Package Status of Feb 16, 2006

Hi folks,
I produced a new package status, and tried to fix the reported bugs. Summary
is in a separate mail.

I agree, and welcome any propositions :-)

I guess anything's possible :-) I didn't see a big discussion about people
wanting to be poked by email, so before I go and make a nuisance of myself,
I'd like to be reasonably confident that it's a Good Thing(tm)
I also added a new section about maintainers, trying to highlight which one
might need a hand in fixing a large number of open bug reports, and those that
have not touched CVS in a long while, maybe indicating that they have
"disappeared" and their packages become orphaned...
Cheers,
Christian
